i never thought we'd be here.
after a long discussion last night, my wife now wants to know the 'other side of the story'.
what made me leave.
Maybe she wants some ammo for the Elders.

alright, so i'm reading on this site, and i'm not 100% sure what it's about.
it appears to be a bunch of former jw people bashing everything they can get their hands on in relation to jw's.. .
i was brought up as a jw, but when i got older and started to think for myself, i began to realize that i didn't agree with their teachings.
When I read the O/T of the Bible it's like todays News A whole lot of killing, corruption.The Head guy of the O/T Gov't was NOT a nice fellow.I do like what his Son had to say in the N/T.

or: "common responses to criticism, by active jehovah's witnesses", which i could also have called this topic.. .
-a video i just saw on youtube made by an active witness took me down memory lane a bit, and reminded me of how i used to think and respond to some common criticisms of the jws.
as i started writing this post, i had planned to put this person's thoughts point-by-point, but it turned out he was pretty much only covering one common critisism.
The R&F believe everything the GB say,because they are robots.When you program a computer it does what the programmers(GB) programmed into it.If the GB say shit smells good.The R&F would say isn't that a loving provision from the GB.

Vanity Hebrew word translated, describes the WT perfectly. Solomon to bad he did not know how to enjoy life.For a wise man he was stupid and dumb.Sorry he was not wise.

if you're still unsure about the hotline to heaven (aka fds), then have a laugh at this truly pathetic story being circulated by the dubs - comments from stephen lett of the groaning body - see below.. to summarise lett's mind-control ramblings:.
angels are directing jws in the ministry - of course!if you don't answer the door - god will kill youif you don't listen to us - god will kill youbrainwashing of minor children is a real winnercalling on empty houses may seem like a waste of time - but to dubs it's the work of angelsfor the bethel drone monitoring this post - wake up and smell the coffee, before you're made to leave your cosy brooklyn office and hack the streets calling on empty houses.. you can be sure lett will be right behind you!.
ee.
Outlaw you are priceless.

at the wednesday night ministry school meeting, a letter from the society was read announcing that wtbts paperbacked publications will begin to be laminated.
according to the letter, this "will save approximately 2 million dollars per year," "lengthen the life of the publications," and "increase the attractiveness" of the publications.. so there's that.. .
also, will someone please explain to me why 85% of the congregation started smiling and nodding at this.. i sometimes think that headquarters could send the congregations boxes of turds and the jws would act like it was the best thing ever..
Why don't they outsourse the printing to India.They gave up farming because they could buy food cheaper then what their slave could produce.ALL about $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
Bob
so they dropped te bookstudy to help save gas right?
bull.
shit.
They canned the bookstudy because of poor.low embarrassing attendance.

it was sent by a rampant, serial-emailing, hardcore jw.
i didn't see copies on a half-assed 1-minute search.
so sorry if this is a duplicate post.. should be called "guided by voices" in my opinion as a subtle truism and tribute to a nifty band.. -- not attending it.
Notice all the announcements:You must make your cheque payable to the......or you can make a cash donation,you can sell you house and donate the proceeds to,you can make a will,if you won the lottery,don't waste you money on higher education send ALL the money to wbts.
We are not like all other religions who scam people and always ask for money..liars.
Bob
for those of you that have survived and come through the great tribulation of having been a member of the wts and still have a faith in god, how do you now interpret the lords prayer?.
just what do you think jesus meant when he said "thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven"?.
What is God's will in heaven for heaven's sake.Who are we to tell the Big guy what to do.Look Billions of billions have been telling him for 2000 years.It's about time we send him some hearing aids. Maybe on the next space shuttle.Because obviously his hearing is shot.Maybe things are worse in heaven than on Earth,so we better stop this nosense of praying for something that we will regret.
